Custom 3.5 x 4.25 inch jotter pad with Solar Sun Systems logo, phone and website, on a desk by a model solar home

Custom 3.5" x 4.25" Jotter Pads by Captain Notepad

Printed in the USA · Based in Denver, Colorado since 2000

Our 3.5" x 4.25" notepad is a jotter pad: a short, narrow stack of tear-off sheets for the notes people write in a few seconds. At 3.5 inches across and 4.25 inches tall, it's one of the pocket-size pads we print. Every sheet carries your logo, colors and contact details in full color.

You can start with 12 pads of 25 or 50 sheets. Our designer sets up the layout at no cost, the first proof reaches you within a business day, and nothing is added for setup. To see how this jotter fits with everything else we print, look through our 34 standard notepad sizes.

A Pocket Notepad for Quick Notes

A pocket notepad earns its keep by being close at hand. At 3.5 inches wide, this pad slides into a jacket, a handbag, a car console or a lab coat, and it doesn't crowd a nightstand or a checkout counter. The sheet is big enough for a name, a number and a sentence or two, and small enough that nobody hesitates to tear one off.

That's what makes it useful for a business. Each note that leaves with a customer carries your name and phone number, and the pad itself stays in sight on a desk or in a car.

Who Orders 3.5 x 4.25 Jotter Pads?

  • Salons, spas and clinics: print "Next Appt" and a date line so the front desk can hand clients a reminder. Our healthcare and medical pads include more layouts for practices.
  • Contractors and field crews: a pad in the truck for measurements, part numbers and customer callbacks.
  • Realtors and lenders: a small closing gift with your photo and phone number. Browse our real estate notepad designs.
  • Events and trade shows: a light, compact giveaway for a booth table, alongside custom pens and other promotional products.
  • Hotels and rentals: bedside notes for guests. Our hotel and hospitality notepads show other options.

Small Note Pads With Your Logo

A jotter is a simple way to put your brand on the notes people already write. Logo across the top, phone and website along the bottom, and open writing space in between: that layout works for a salon, a solar installer or a real estate office alike. Every torn-off sheet carries a fresh copy of your contact information.

How This Size Compares With Other Small Pads

We print several small sizes, and each one has a slightly different job:

  • 3.5" x 4.25" (this page): our jotter pad, card-width and short.
  • 3″ × 4″: half an inch narrower, sold as small memo pads.
  • 4″ × 3″: a landscape pocket memo pad.
  • 2″ × 3″: a mini pad for wallets and coin pockets.
  • 4″ × 5″: a bigger small notepad for the desk.

Jotter Designs in the Photos

The product images show the pad with four kinds of artwork:

  • Salon: the Bella Vista Salon & Spa pad pairs pink watercolor flowers with a scissors logo, a phone number, "Next Appt" and "Stylist" lines, and a short tagline.
  • Checklist: three Juniper Hill pads each print a lavender or juniper sprig, a "Notes" heading and a column of checkboxes.
  • Solar company: the Solar Sun Systems pad places its logo up top with a phone number and web address at the bottom, with the rest left blank for notes.

Edit one of our ready-made 3.5″ × 4.25″ designs, upload your own artwork, or email your logo and we'll build the layout.

3.5" x 4.25" Notepad Specifications

  • Trim size: 3.5" × 4.25" (about 8.9 × 10.8 cm), portrait.
  • Ink: four-color artwork on each face you choose to print, front only or front and back.
  • Stock: bright white 50 lb. text as the default, with heavier 60 lb. and 70 lb. sheets offered.
  • Base: a standard chipboard back keeps each jotter stiff.
  • Thickness: 25-sheet or 50-sheet pads.
  • Run sizes: from 12 jotters to 5,000.
  • Timing: 8–10 business days standard, 5 on rush, counted from your proof approval; transit is extra.

Options in the Price Calculator

  • Production Days: the regular 8–10 day schedule or a 5-day rush.
  • Page Count Per Pad: slim 25-sheet jotters or thicker 50-sheet ones.
  • Backside Printing: art on the reverse too, which calls for the 60 lb. or 70 lb. stock.

Ask by Phone

Some finishing touches aren't in the calculator: corners can be rounded, sheets can be perforated or numbered, pads can be hole-punched or given a magnetic back, the chipboard can carry printing, and the layout can turn sideways. Call 888-268-7237 for a quote on any of these.

Jotter Pad FAQs: 3.5" x 4.25" Custom Notepads

What size is a pocket notepad?

There isn't one official size, and pocket pads come in many shapes. This jotter pad is 3.5″ wide and 4.25″ tall, a compact sheet that suits a jacket, a handbag or a car console. Pockets vary, so measure the one you have in mind before you order.

How is a jotter pad different from a pocket notebook?

A pocket notebook has a cover and bound pages that stay together. A jotter pad is a block of loose sheets bound at the top with padding glue over a chipboard base, so each note tears off and can be handed to someone, stuck in a file or left on a desk.

What do people write on a small jotter pad?

Phone numbers, names, a quick reminder, a parts list, the next appointment, a wifi password for a guest. Short notes that need to leave the room with someone are the sweet spot for a sheet this size.

Can I order small note pads with my logo?

Yes. Every sheet of this jotter prints your logo, colors and contact details in full color, and our designer will place them for free. Send us a logo file, or start from one of our ready-made 3.5″ × 4.25″ designs and swap in your own details.

Is 3.5 x 4.25 bigger than a 3 x 4 pad?

Slightly. It sits between the 3 x 4 and the 4 x 5. The 3″ × 4″ is a half inch narrower, and the 4″ × 5″ adds about half an inch each way. If you'd rather have the sheet turned sideways, our 4″ × 3″ is a landscape option.

Can a salon or spa use these as appointment cards?

Yes. The Bella Vista Salon & Spa design in the photos puts the logo, phone number and booking line up top, with "Next Appt" and "Stylist" lines below. Staff write the date, tear off the sheet and hand it to the client at checkout.

Can I print on the back of each sheet?

Yes. Turn on Backside Printing in the price calculator to add a second design, such as a map, a coupon or your hours. Backside printing needs 60 lb. or heavier paper, so pick 60 lb. or 70 lb. stock with it.

Do the sheets stick like sticky notes?

No adhesive here. The sheets are held together only at the glued top, so each one comes away loose with a plain back. When you want a note that clings to a monitor, try our custom sticky notepads or Post-it® Brand custom sticky notes.

How many 3.5 x 4.25 notepads can I order?

As few as 12 pads, with set quantities up to 5,000 in the calculator. The price per pad generally drops as the quantity goes up, so check the price calculator for current totals at a few quantities. Over 5,000? Phone 888-268-7237 or request a quote.

How fast can pocket-size notepads be printed?

Plan on 8–10 business days of production once your proof is approved, or 5 if you select rush in the calculator. Shipping comes after that, and faster delivery can be picked at checkout.
